What happens when you connect a 110 volt motor to 220 volts?
On a three wire supply system if you connect the two 110V wires together and they are across the phase they will short out and trip the breaker. If the two 110V wires are supplied from across the phase and connected to a motor then the motor will run. If the 110V wires are on the same phase nothing will happen.
Which of the two wires is hot which is neutral?
If this is a home wiring question and the wires are black and white then black is Hot and white is Neutral. If you also have a red wire, it is the other hot wire, and either the black or the red wire to the white one would be 120 volts, and red to black would be 240 volts.
What wires go where on my condenser fan motor black orange and purple?
There is an electrical drawing on the motor that tells you how to wire it.
How do you connect a 115 v circuit when only a 230 v location is available?
Usually in a 230 volt situation, there are three wires. One wire is called neutral or ground. When you hook a motor or lamp between one wire and neutral, you get 115 volts. They are designated usually as L1, L2 and neutral. Things hooked between L1 and L2 are at 230 volts. Anything between L1 and neutral or L2 and neutral are at 120 volts.
Does 240 volt have a neutral wire?
Yes <<>> In North America, a three wire 120/240 volt system uses a neutral wire. For 240 volts two "hot" wires are used with no neutral.

How do you wire a wire to a wire?
If you are connecting 120 volts, you connect the black wire to the breaker, white wire to the neutral bar, and ground wire to the ground bar. If you are connecting 240 volts connect the black & white wires to the breaker, & ground wire to the ground bar.
What will happen if you get the main power from two live wires instead of a live wire and a neutral wire?
207 volts ac
Can you get 220 volts from 90 volts?
A single phase meter will have two "hot" wires, one black the other red. Each wire will carry 120 volts. Essentially these two wires together will provide you with 240 volts. Hire a professional when dealing with electricity.
Which of the two wires is hot which is neutral?
If this is a home wiring question and the wires are black and white then black is Hot and white is Neutral. If you also have a red wire, it is the other hot wire, and either the black or the red wire to the white one would be 120 volts, and red to black would be 240 volts.
How do you add a neutral wire for 220 volts?
Standard wiring for 220 volts which is also referred to as 240 volts, commonly has four wires. One is red, one is black, one is white and one is a bare copper wire. The red and black wire carry 120 volts each, the white wire in usually your neutral which hooks up to your ground along with the bare wire.
Can a 240 volt sub panel run 115 volt motor?
In Europe 240 volts is standard, so no a 115 volt motor will not work. In USA 120 volts is standard, so if your sub-panel has 120 volts, (check with voltage meter) then yes. Read carefully, To get 240 volts in a sub-panel in USA the electric company brings two (2) wires, each wire has 120 volts, 120 + 120 = 240. One of those 120 volts will run your motor. Look for the wires from the electric company and check them with your voltage meter. If this is a commercial application you will need to call an electrical contractor, power companies for commercial applications do not follow the above.
What size wire do you need for 2HP motor with 120 volts?
12/2 with ground.
How do you let up a back window on a 1989 Oldsmobile Royale Brougham when the wires in the driver's door panel are detached and the back control doesn't work?
Basically you have to put plus and minus 12 volts to the purple and green wire for the left rear or purple/white and lime wire for the right rear window. That is - assuming the wires are disconnected from the driver door switches. Reversing the plus and minus on a set of colors reverses the motor direction for up or down. 2 Worse case you have to remove the door panel to get to the wires at the motor and if 12 volts won't operate it there then it's a bad motor. 3. Remove the motor and wind the window back up (you may have to hold it up )then put the motor back in.
How do you wire a 4 wire cable from a generator l14-30r plug to an electric motor with 3 wires?
A L14-30R is a three pole four wire grounding 125/250 volt receptacle. It is designed to supply voltage to a three wire system much like the connection to a range or clothes dryer. The generator connections to the back of the receptacle are; blade hole with indent inwards is the ground. Left (X) and right (Y) of the ground pin is the 240 volt output. The last blade hole (W) is the neutral wire connection. (X) to (W) will be 120 volts, (Y) to (W) will be 120 volts and (X) to (Y) will be 240 volts. Check the nameplate of the motor to make sure that it is not three phase hence the three wires. Without more information about the motor a complete answer can not be given.
In a cental air unit which wires are black white and red?
the black wire is A phase, the red wire is B phase, and the white wire is the neutral. Black should have around 120 volts. Red should have 120 volts, and should add up to 240 volts with a multi meter.
Should there be electricity to coil 1999 Maxima?
When the key is turn on there should be 12.5 volts on one wire (there are three wires). There is also a ground wire and a wire from the ECM for the transistor.
